For what it's worth, and this is just me, but:
Ice cream and protein are both common suggestions as you said and neither work for me. Nor does fat.
Protein causes all sorts of havoc on your body whether its from the tryptophan, histidine, cysteine, methionine, ammonia, or phosphorus... That's quite the list of problems. So, I've opted to stop eating animal protein entirely and supplement directly the only amino acids that are actually helpful. to deplete myself of those 4 AA"s and avoid ammonia/phosphorus entirely. This is a POWERFUL problem that I think most forum members here don't respect. There's a reason why Vegan is a popular diet. It works. But, eventually Vegans get protein deficiency. Hence supplementing the other AA's.
Ice cream was a horrible food for me. It reliably tanked my body temperatures in the morning. As does eating too high fat period.
Eating before bed is only a bad idea if you eat inflammation/endotoxin promoting foods like high protein, ice cream. Eat metabolic promoting foods, and its fine.
If I eat protein, ice cream, fat etc before bed I can almost guarantee my waking temps the next day will be bad. Even gelatin, I notice, can generate ammonia, but out of all proteins, gelatin is pretty safe.
I like what you say about animal protein. Animal protein is the only determinant of me feeling worse than usual. I also quit it and eat now as a vegan. But my primary food is potatoes which is rich in protein. Plus some fruits. I don't get protein deficiency. But i am also looking for aminos supplement. The thing is they are expensive.
Animal flesh is problematic in a high starch and dairy diet imo. Remove the starch and dairy and beef is so cleanly digested and provides immense health, confidence, and strength. I personally love tomatoes, beef, and salt. That combo is a damn good combo. I add straight salsa onto that 85/15 ground beef, and I get no digestive issues, immediate satiation, strength, and well-being. Throw in a little coffee after the meal for extra good vibes. I’ve also turned to drinking v8 juice, which is very hydrating and pleasant to my brain.
Every time I get on starch and dairy I run into problems, and my stomach is much happier on a beef and fruit diet. The key all along on why I couldn’t sustain that diet is that too much fruit throws off electrolyte levels, so the v8 juice helps immensely with keeping my salt status up.
